The interest rate environment ordsprog

The interest rate environment is very troubling. Investors are trying to get their arms around the increases. There are still many economists out there that are calling for at least another half-point increase after this. So the near-term outlook, albeit earnings, is making investors very, very nervous.

We have to get these interest rate increases behind us and the Fed did hold off this last time, but I think there's still a possibility of another rate increase later in the year. And that's weighing on investor's minds. Earnings have slowed down a little bit. The interest rate increases to date have had an effect and we're seeing some earnings disappointments at some companies and that has investors concerned. But on the other hand, we have the mergers and acquisitions that tend to buoy up the prices in whatever sectors affected from one day to the next and that will keep investors interested in stocks certainly.

The Fed minutes were a positive surprise as investors hadn't anticipated an end to interest rate increases at the time of the meeting. With strong earnings results both at home and in the U.S., all the good news came out at the same time and encouraged investors to bet on stocks.

The real short-term outlook for us is pretty positive given that we don't see a Fed rate hike in August and that due to political noise, if you will, we are not going to see a rate hike in October. But on the earnings front it is a different issue. Looking into 2000, our longer-term forecast, we've had two great years of earnings growth. We think it is going to be pretty difficult to show up with another year of 30-to-40 percent earnings growth. So, consequently, our message has been a lot more selective about the securities that we want investors to focus on.

I think investors are somewhat nervous about the economic data coming out. Once investors do become more convinced that we are near the end of the rising interest rate cycle, the market will turn around.

When interest rates increase, they have a capital loss. During a time of ECB rate increases, Japanese investors don't want to buy European bonds.

Investors are still not too confident on the earnings outlook at technology companies. Rising oil prices will increase concern that interest rates will keep on rising, which will hurt demand in the U.S.

Everyone is nervous. Not many investors were expecting further rate increases, but now stocks are being sold on that basis.

A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. Properties were weak as investors were concerned that further rate hikes will affect earnings of developers. But I think some investors just used rate worries as an excuse to sell the stocks.

Taking interest rate fluctuations out of the equation makes for a much more stable environment and makes investors more confident in long-term decisions on investment.

A stock that's seen a lot of bad news is First Union, ... Here is a great stock with depressed earnings and interest rate fears. When the clouds are darkest, that's when long-term investors can really save for retirement.

If you look at our track record over time, investors who have been with us long term are very happy with the kind of returns that they have received, ... I'd encourage investors to again take that long term outlook.

Steve Ballmer (1956-)

It will be a slow evolution. Dividends are a long-term investor's focus and for folks that are more short-term oriented it's not essential. And let's face it. A lot of tech investors tend to be shorter-term investors than average investors.
